The idea that rbts culd ne day be ur friends has been arund fr a lng time but until nw they have always seemed mre machine than persn. A new study by a researcher at the Italian Institute f Technlgy has fund that in fact it’s pssible fr rbts t fl us here and there, they are just less perfect than human. Inspired by the Turing Test, Agnieszka Wykwska came up with an experiment using a child-sized human-like rbt called iCub. Sitting in frnt f a screen, the peple in the test were asked t press a buttn when a green bx appeared n the screen, hwever, iCub nly respnded t red bxes Wykwska prgrammed the rbt t take different lengths f time t respnd, just like a persn wuld. Afterwards, the humans were asked t judge whether they had been cmpeting with a machine r a persn accrding t the time f the buttins being pressed—and they culdn’t tell. Wykwska believes that making rbts have mre human respnses is the key t making better rbts and creating mre trust between humans and rbts.
In anther study with iCub, the rbt and a human watched special vides f animals. In the first set f tests, iCub greeted the persn, asked fr his name and kept eye cntact with its camera “eyes”. It made cmments abut the vides, laughed and shwed emtins (情感). In the secnd experiment, hwever, iCub did nt cmmunicate with human and just made machine-like nises. The researchers fund that peple believe that the mre human iCub is, the mre it has its wn thughts and desires. The team nw wants t knw if peple can cmmunicate with rbts that d nt lk human but that still shw human-like actins. The researchers plan t repeat the experiments, using rbts f different shapes and sizes, t see hw peple give their respnses.

There was a time when New Yrk City buildings were almst all the same height. Tday yu can see buildings f different heights that seem t tuch the sky. They are called skyscrapers (摩天大楼). They shape the famus New Yrk City skyline.
It started abut 90 years ag. It began like a race. This wasn’t a race dwn the street r arund a track (跑道). It was a race fr the sky. Wh was racing? Buildings were. Their builders were actually racing t build the wrld’s tallest skyscraper.
The race started slwly.
First came the Wlwrth Building, in 1913. It rse 792 feet n the suthern side f the city. Frm far away, it lked like a thin castle flating (漂浮) in the sky.
Then the race heated up.
In 1930, tw skyscrapers were nearing cmpletin. The Bank f Manhattan Building was finished first. It rse up t 927 feet int the sky. Builders were then putting a rund rf n the tp f the Chrysler Building. It sht up t 925 feet. The Bank f Manhattan, tw feet taller, seemed t be the winner. A big party was held t celebrate its victry.
A few weeks later, New Yrkers saw a strange sight. The day that the Chrysler Building was t be cmpleted, wrkers raised a shiny metal spire (尖顶) thrugh the tp f the building, adding 121 feet t the building’s height! At 1,048 feet, the Chrysler Building was nw the wrld’s tallest.
But the race was nt ver. A year later, in 1931, the Empire State Building became the new winner. At 1,250 feet, it was the wrld’s tallest building.
In 1973, even that recrd was brken. Builders finished the twin twers f the Wrld Trade Center. At 1,368 feet high, they rse abve all ther buildings in New Yrk City.
Time ges n. As technlgy imprves, taller buildings are being built. The race is still n.
